Yeah, I did read the bit about not being able to use the name of the artist but since loads of other people seem to be doing it, I assumed the rules had relaxed a bit since 37 pages ago. See the one above which went from "Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks" to "My Generation - The Who".


I'm quite happy to follow the rules of the game, but they seem to keep changing!

Nobody's Child - Hank Snow


A song that could draw tears from a wheelbarrow.


"I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child I'm like a flower just growing wild

There's no mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles

Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child


I was slowly passin' an orphan's home one day

And stop there for a moment just to watch the children play

Alone a boy was standin' and when I asked him why

He turned his eyes that couldn't see and he began to cry

People come for children and take them for their own

But they all seem to pass me by and leave me all alone

I know they'd like to take me but when they see that I'm blind

They always take some other child and I'm left behind

I'm nobody's child...


No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry

Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish I could die

I walk the streets of heaven where all the blinds can see

And just like for the other kids there'd be a home for me

No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles nobody wants me I'm nobody's child"

    • Try this Twitter account run by people who actually live in Epping:  It posts an interview on BBC Radio Essex with a mother of young children who lives in a house directly opposite the Bell Hotel and her experience with these “protesters”. It’s really worth a listen.
    • Given what I’ve said about him, not sure why he “agreed” with my earlier post  @spartacus  noone on here is suggesting anyone is “punched in the  balls”. On here.  Like linehan has done and he was apprehended and charged just like that labour councillor was.  So all is above board    @angelina   im sorry but your posts are making less and less sense as the thread goes on.  Who should we be reading? What interviews specifically do you recommend?
    • I haven't suggested that everyone at these 'demonstrations' is racist. Certainly there are some people with histories of violent racism who have been involved in organising the 'raise the colours' campaign. I do think that many of the demonstrations are xenophobic in nature. Clearly there is a fear that immigrants pose a particular risk to children and others. I think this is misguided and we know that some of it is being driven by misinformation, false 'research reports' and made up data (by the likes of the 'centre for migration control', a front for Reform).  No one wants a hotel used to house asylum seekers who are being held in limbo for long periods of time. But attacking the asylum seekers and setting fire to hotels isn't making that point.
    • Be careful that your* post isn't akin to the next "Graham Linehan" type that breaks the camels back. * refers to both sides of this discussion
